I’m having the same issue, and I’m not running SMB at all, at least not for the Plex server. I am using the proper naming convention, and I still see the same path and filename twice in the Info page. Removing the file from the location, scanning the library and adding it back usually solves the issue, but I’ve stopped doing even that while waiting for the actual fix to be released.
We probably have similar setups however, not even using the plex dance which is partly what you’re doing, helps my situation. No matter how many times I remove the titles and perform the steps in my first post, it still creates duplicate files yet only for certain titles. For instance, out of the last 10 movies that I added, it synced 4 of them correctly and the other 6 have this issue no matter what I do. The only time the issue corrected itself was when I created a brand new location like the initial location with some of the new titles already moved over. Plex then created the new library without any duplicates, however, it still would not accept any new additions without duplicating them. I’m obviously not going to continue to create and rebuild new library locations whenever I need to add titles. Like you, I’m leaving them out of the library until I find out what’s causing this or if there’s a resolution.
